Blackberry Port Sauce For Roast Duck
- about a cup of blackberries fresh or frozen
- port wine
- balsamic vinegar
- small diced shallot
- brown sugar
- s/p tt
- a dash or two (maybe more if you like sweet) of honey
- and butter at room temperature to finish the sauce, cut up. use as much as you'd like.
- throw everything but the butter into a non-reactive sauce pot and let reduce, stirring occassionally. always taste to see how it is. It should be sweet and tangy and fruity.
- when it's been reduced, add in the butter slowly and whisk over low flame. It is recommended to strain this sauce. the end result should be a dark, glossy sauce. If desired, you can throw in some thyme during the reduction process. And this could also be used for a sauce over your favorite icecream!
